The GV concept was showcased sitting on 275/40R23 tires, with rims that featured ventilated spokes. I do doubt that we will see something similar on the production model, as I think this was done purely for aesthetics to match the crosshatch patterns on the transparent B and C pillars. Though this does beg the question of whether or not there would be any benefits to having ventilated rims however.
I have little faith in seeing these come to market on a production Genesis SUV. After seeing the new G80, I can't get over how nice its BBS style wheel looks. On an SUV with meatier tire will give this the right sporty edge
These would probably be too expensive to use on the production model, and I can only imagine how difficult they would be to keep clean. Also wonder how durable they could be as the spokes are essentially hollow.
Once you're able to coat the wheels so brake dust won't collect for long or at least becomes easier to wash off with some wheel acid, there's little concern for how you'll clean it.
I came across this on Twitter today. The new Genesis G80 Sport is going to come with a performance version of the 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 that produces 420 hp.
The question is, will this be a G80 exclusive? Or will it eventually be available in the GV80? I'd be surprised if Genesis didn't offer it...
Pictures of the GV80 SUV in production form might have been leaked by a Genesis Dealership.
Even if its not official and just a rendering, when compared to the new G80, it can be argued that this is very close!
I know Genesis is really targeting models like the X5 and GLE, but I spect the Lexus RX and Acura MDX are probably top rivals.
If anyone is currently cross-shopping, I'd love to know.
